Omaha, NE 68102
Join Dr. Jacinda Tran for a lecture and Q&A moderated by Bemis Center’s 2024–2025 Curator-in-Residence, Kathy Cho, on the “banalization of diaspora” and "militarized infrastructures of feeling." This lecture will examine the affect of varied psychogeographies of global colonization and dispersal—as well as how some of the artists featured in the exhibition take up the tasks and technologies of representationability amid an increasingly fractured world.
Admission is free; RSVPs are encouraged.
